When Ashley and Dorian chose Veronét Vineyards & Winery for their engagement photos, it wasn't just about the stunning views or the rows of grapevines. This spot holds a special place in their hearts as the location of their first date! Even better, they're planning to say "I do" at this same beautiful venue. Let's take a peek at their gorgeous engagement session and share some tips for planning your own vineyard photoshoot.
A Picture-Perfect Vineyard Setting
The rolling hills and lush greenery of Veronét Vineyards & Winery created a dreamy backdrop for Ashley and Dorian's engagement photos. Located in Kings Mountain, NC, this winery combines rustic charm with elegant touches that make every photo look like it belongs in a magazine.
The couple strolled through the vineyard rows, posed against wooden barrels, and captured sweet moments on the venue's charming patio. The natural beauty of the grounds meant we didn't need fancy props or setups - the location did all the heavy lifting!
Why Choose a Winery for Engagement Photos?
There's something magical about vineyards that makes them perfect for engagement sessions:
Natural beauty in every direction
Romantic atmosphere that needs no explanation
Variety of backgrounds in one location
Built-in celebration spot (hello, post-shoot wine tasting!)
Seasonal beauty that changes throughout the year
For Ashley and Dorian, choosing the Kings Mountain vineyard was extra meaningful since it connects to both their past (first date) and future (wedding venue).
5 Tips for Planning Your Own Veronét Vineyards Engagement Session
1. Pick the Right Season
Each season brings different charms to the vineyard:
Spring: Fresh green leaves and new growth
Summer: Lush, full vines and vibrant greenery
Fall: Rich autumn colors and harvest activity
Winter: Dramatic bare vines with potential mountain views
Ashley and Dorian's session captured the vineyard's summer beauty with full, green vines.
2. Schedule at the Golden Hour
Plan your session for about two hours before sunset. The golden light filtering through the vines creates a warm, romantic glow that looks stunning in photos. This timing worked perfectly for Ashley and Dorian's session.
3. Coordinate Your Outfits with the Setting
Think about colors that complement the vineyard:
Soft neutrals (creams, light blues, soft pinks)
Earth tones that match the natural surroundings
Avoid busy patterns that compete with the scenery
Ashley's flowing dress caught the light beautifully while Dorian's outfit complemented both her look and the vineyard setting.
4. Use the Vineyard Features
Take advantage of the unique elements at Veronét Vineyards:
Rows of grapevines create natural leading lines
The tasting room's rustic-chic interior
Mountain views in the background
Wooden barrels and wine-making equipment
The covered patio with string lights
5. Plan for a Toast
Bring a bottle of Veronét wine to include in some photos! Nothing says "vineyard engagement session" like toasting with local wine from the very vines in your pictures.

Common Questions About Vineyard Engagement Photos
How far in advance should we book our engagement session at Veronét Vineyards?
For the best dates and times, try to book 2-3 months ahead. This is especially true if you want golden hour sessions during popular seasons like late spring or early fall.
Do we need permission to take photos at the vineyard?
Yes! Always contact the vineyard to arrange your professional photo session. Veronét Vineyards works with couples to schedule sessions when the venue isn't too busy with other events.
Can we bring outfit changes?
Absolutely! Most couples bring 1-2 outfits for variety. The venue has restrooms where you can change.
What if it rains on our scheduled day?
Don't worry! We can either use the covered areas of the winery or reschedule for another day. The tasting room makes a great backup location with its rustic charm.
Can we include our pets in the engagement photos?
Ask the vineyard about their pet policy. Some vineyards allow well-behaved pets for photo sessions, especially during non-busy hours.
